Another odd dream...

Well, Saturday saw the final of the UK X-Factor competition - a show where they try to find a new pop superstar, or at least someone that will guarantee Simon Cowell the Christmas Number 1 slot!

The final three were a very strange Welshman (in white), a young Scot who was good at singing like Frank Sanatra (in black) and a brother-sister act (called Same Difference) who were like High School Musical meets Donny and Marie meeting happy pills (oh come on, you really need to be told which ones they are?). Of the three they were by far the most entertaining, but they came 3rd. My kids were incensed. The show is about pop music and these two were about as pop music as it comes, but no, the Scottish crooner won.

We watched something else, I finished my bottle of wine, had a bath and headed for bed.

I then had the same dream 3 times in a row!

I had won the lottery (a rollover, so it was a big one) and had asked the kids what they really wanted for Christmas. The unanimous decision was that they wanted Same Difference to be number 1 for Christmas, so I had arranged and paid for them to release a CD!

3 times I dreamed that!

On Sunday morning, I checked my numbers and found that - I hadn't won a penny, so it was, as they say, just a dream. Oh well.

Logzie - I think it is the first time I have had the same one like that too.

Ali - think yourself lucky you did not have to watch him singing "Go West"... During the final we were discussing the options for each if they won. The winner seems to immediately get splatted all over the teen magazines and we had visions of the editors of said magazines going grey at the thought of having to make this guy seem appealing to young girls. My thought, which made my daughter almost wet herself with laughter, was to have his face on a front cover with a speech bubble saying "Hello little girl, would you like to see some puppies?" How would YOU, as an expert, handle that one, eh?

About Me

Hi
I am married and have 4 kids - 2 boys(16 and 21), a girl (18) and another daughter who died in 2005 at the age of 17. My hobbies are wargaming and playing guitar (6 string electric and 4, 5, 8 string and fretless bass). I love spoof movies, which the kids call "Dad's stupid films" (but that doesn't stop they buying me new ones!).
